ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIMS This descriptive study aims to determine the relationships between the pain beliefs and coping strategies of palliative care patients. MATERIAL and METHODS This study was conducted in the Malatya Training and Research Hospital Palliative Care Clinic from March 10, 2019 to June 10, 2019. The sample consisted of 138 inpatients. The data were collected using a personal information form, the Pain Beliefs Questionnaire, the Pain Coping Questionnaire, and the Palliative Performance Scale. SPSS 18.0 software was used to analyze the data. The required ethical approvals were obtained. RESULTS The patients’ mean age was 59.01±9.38. Of them, 65.1% were female, and 89.7% were married. Of the patients, 56.3% had completed primary school, and 75.3% were unemployed. Of the patients, 70.5% believed that pain is controlled by God. Their mean organic beliefs score was 3.04±0.38, and their mean psychological beliefs score was 4.83±1.00. Their mean scores for self-management, helplessness, conscious cognitive attempts, and medical remedies were 19.07±5.18, 10.72±3.00, 13.85±4.05, and 11.54±3.08, respectively. Their organic beliefs scores had a negative relationship with self-management scores (p<0.001, r=-392) and conscious This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.

CONCLUSIONS The pain beliefs of patients in palliative care affect their ability to cope with pain. The planning and implementation of nursing pain management interventions should consider the relationships between the pain beliefs and pain coping strategies of patients. Keywords: Palliative Care, Pain Beliefs, Coping with Pain, Nursing INTRODUCTION Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach that starts with diagnosis and continues during and after treatment. Palliative care helps patients to cope with a variety of disease-related symptoms (1). When the symptoms are brought under control, patients’ adaptation to their community increases, their recovery period begins, and they become able to tolerate their treatments’ side effects as vomiting and dizziness etc. (2,3). Palliative care aims to provide patients with an active and quality life until their death (2,3). Pain is a critical symptom that affects the course of diseases, and treating it is a priority issue (2,4). Inadequate pain management leads to serious complications, increases morbidity and mortality and the length of hospital stays (5). It reduces patients’ quality of life by affecting their conduct of daily activities (4). Pain and its effects are significant causes of stress. Cognitive and behavioral responses to stress which are considered “coping with pain” affect the severity of pain, pain-related disabilities and patient psychology (6,7). Coping is defined as people’s resistance to events or factors that cause stress and their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to endure them. Coping strategies vary with a variety of factors such as age, gender, culture, and disease. They are unique to each individual (6,8,9). Pain includes sensory, emotional, and behavioral factors. It is a multi-dimensional experience that has been explained using a variety of models, including the pathogenic and biopsychosocial models. The pathogenic model of pain focuses on whether pain is the result of a direct tissue trauma or a This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.

Cyprus J Med Sci 2021; DOI: 10.5152/cjms.2021.3023.- Available online at https://cyprusjmedsci.com/EN physiological destruction. The biopsychosocial model involves cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors. These factors are reported to affect pain response indirectly by affecting patients’ neurochemistry (10,11). Belief is a cognitive factor that is based on social psychology. It is seen as one of the main constituents of people’s thought systems in the cognitive perspective. Pain beliefs involve organic and psychological beliefs. Organic beliefs are based on the perception that pain is caused by bodily injury or harm. People believe that an increase in the level of injury increases pain. This makes activity/exercise and a biomedical approach important for eliminating the problem causing the pain. Psychological beliefs are based on the perception that pain is affected by psychological factors (anxiety, depression, etc.). A variety of techniques such as relaxation and distraction can be used for pain management (8,10,12). Studies of pain beliefs show that patients’ treatments and coping strategies vary by their beliefs (8,11). It is important for nurses as members of multidisciplinary teams to detect the pain management problems of patients that related to their pain beliefs and to plan nursing pain management interventions that consider them (8, 9). No studies of the relationships between the pain beliefs and pain coping strategies of patients in palliative care were found in the literature. Determining the pain beliefs of patients may help in the selection of the best coping method, and thus an effective pain management method (8-11). Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the correlation between pain beliefs and coping strategies in palliative care patients. Other purposes of the research are; to examine whether sociodemographic variables affect pain belief and coping with pain.

A necessary sample size of 140 people was determined using G*Power software and an effect size of 2.25, a significance level (α) of 0.05, and 80% power. The sample consisted of 138 patients. Inclusion Criteria Patients who were 18 years old and above, conscious, had no communication difficulties or mental disorders, scored 40% or higher on the Palliative Performance Scale, and agreed to participate were included in the study. The minimum palliative performance score for patients was 40%. The criteria also included being conscious and having a normal or less than normal food intake, requiring major assistance for self-care, being unable to do most activities, having extensive disease, and being mainly in bed. Patients who scored below 40% on the Palliative Performance Scale were excluded from the study because they would be tired due to their lack of functional capacity, and reliable data would not be obtained from them due to their unsteady levels of consciousness (13). Data Collection The patients were informed about the study and told that its data would not be shared with

  • An XML Model of CSS3 As an XƎL ATEX-TEXML-HTML5 Stylesheet
    An XML model of CSS3 as an XƎLATEX-TEXML-HTML5 stylesheet language S. Sankar, S. Mahalakshmi and L. Ganesh TNQ Books and Journals Chennai Abstract HTML5[1] and CSS3[2] are popular languages of choice for Web development. However, HTML and CSS are prone to errors and difficult to port, so we propose an XML version of CSS that can be used as a standard for creating stylesheets and tem- plates across different platforms and pagination systems. XƎLATEX[3] and TEXML[4] are some examples of XML that are close in spirit to TEX that can benefit from such an approach. Modern TEX systems like XƎTEX and LuaTEX[5] use simplified fontspec macros to create stylesheets and templates. We use XSLT to create mappings from this XML-stylesheet language to fontspec-based TEX templates and also to CSS3. We also provide user-friendly interfaces for the creation of such an XML stylesheet. Style pattern comparison with Open Office and CSS Now a days, most of the modern applications have implemented an XML package format that includes an XML implementation of stylesheet: InDesign has its own IDML[6] (InDesign Markup Language) XML package format and MS Word has its own OOXML[7] format, which is another ISO standard format. As they say ironically, the nice thing about standards is that there are plenty of them to choose from. However, instead of creating one more non-standard format, we will be looking to see how we can operate closely with current standards. Below is a sample code derived from OpenOffice document format: <style:style style:name=”Heading_20_1” style:display-name=”Heading

  • Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style with Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA
    Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style With Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA ABSTRACT This paper outlines SAS® 9.1.3 coding steps to produce output that meets "Regulatory Publication Style". This style is specific to my clinical trial reporting environment and is composed of requirements coming from two separate sources. The first source is an internal company document called the Style Guide for Regulatory Submission, which all output submitted to a regulatory agency must follow. The second source is the publishing software itself, which processes all output into the regulatory filing. Examples of style guide requirements are: RTF output, Arial font, and that footnotes must attach to the bottom of the table without a box drawn around them. Publishing system requirements are: a) The user controls the type of line breaks, either soft, {\line}, or hard, {\par}, in the title, which controls how much of the title is picked up by the publishing software and put in the table of contents. b) Each line, such as a spanning underline or the line between the table body and the footnotes, must have a minimum thickness of 19 twips. c) Section breaks are not allowed. d) Table title and footnotes cannot be in the header or footnote section of the RTF document. e) Table title must be "free text" on the page and not in a table structure. The seven steps to achieve this style are: 1) proc template, 2) statistical procs (optional), 3) reformat data (optional), 4) add pagination and footnotes, 5) proc report, 6) post process RTF file, and 7) View in WORD® (optional).

  • Development of Computer Typesetting
    Early steps in computer typesetting in the 1960s Jonathan Seybold, September 2018 1961–1964 Michael Barnett’s “Experiments in Typesetting” In 1961, Michael Barnett, an associate professor at MIT wrote a computer program that could produce punched paper tape output to drive a phototypesetting machine. He used this to produce the “Tail” from Alice in Wonderland, and a phototypeset press release. These were the first documents that were phototypeset from output generated by a computer. In 1962 Barnett received a research grant to continue this experiments. This lead to development of the PC6 system, which was used to produce a variety of reports, pamphlets and other publications in late 1963 and early 1964.1 Hardware: IBM 709/90 computer and a Photon 560 phototypesetter. Software: Written in Fortran, with a few routines written in FAP (Fortran Assembler). Written for a specific Photon 560 set-up. Typefonts were identified by disk position and row number. The TYPRINT program for text output composed text to fit a predefined page width and depth. Lines were broken after the last complete word that would fit on that line. There was no attempt at hyphenation. Pages were arbitrarily broken after the last line that would fit on the page. Special commands could be embedded in the text to tie text elements together. When it encountered these, the program would simply make the page as long as necessary to accommodate all of the text in the “no break” area. Given the scientific academic setting, the most notable feature of TYPRINT was a program written by J.M.
